(Re)membering the Spiritual Lives of Black Women Educators
The Spirit of Our Work: Black Women Teachers (Re)member highlights the intersectional identities of Black women teachers and how they matter in a teaching life. Dr. Dillard shows us how educational settings might more conscientiously curate necessary structures of support that pay explicit attention to (re)membering not just the mind and body but the spirit of Black women in the work of teaching and teacher education.
“As an education leader, philanthropist, writer and builder, I value four ideas that are critical to (re)membering:
- A sense of integrity, strong congruence between your talk and your walk
- A rapt attention to following through, letting our yes mean yes and our no mean no
- An embrace of Black women’s creativity, of beautiful ways to approach the work of leading, building and educating
- A strong attention to following our spiritual knowing and being as well as to our intellect and bodies.”
